David wanted one thing in life.  Well, two if you counted Kerry. This weekend’s graduation ceremony was one step towards attaining his first desire. He hadn’t expected training to be easy, those lessons he learned early from his dad. Training had gotten harder when his dad died because he depended on his mentor. Becoming a Marine would have made his dad proud, and that was David’s main goal.  A small box burned a hole in his pocket and he thought of Kerry. He planned to propose today. If she agreed, they would marry in the small chapel before he deployed.
